Yeah agree. It’s the torch spots that need extra heat/drought resistance. The west side of my house bakes and goes dormant early every season. This year I have lespedeza rapidly spreading through the brown and it’s putting me on tilt. I don’t mind certain “weeds” and regular clover, but this crap chokes everything else out and has woody stems. I may have to try something to target it next spring before it spreads too far. Some of the seed you’re talking about may be an option as well.
