Mrs Fox does a good job of hand-pulling anything we don't want to keep - with moral support from me, of course - but I was hoping that a southern equivalent of Yellow Rattle would save her some effort, as that is what those northern folk use to control grass when establishing a wildflower meadow.

I would check. As mentioned a weed is just a plant where you don't want it.
Wild flower meadow? Your neighbors may see it as a weed patch. Identifying a weed from a wild flower can be difficult. I have fairy lilies, pop up lilies, rain lilies, first of all they do well here but secondly they look like grass when not in bloom and they seem to go dormant at times. When, I think something killed them they show up again.
