In the drive way I have rocks with alittle soil mixed in.
Do you think I could get (johhny jump ups?) To grow with the little grass atleast and spread at a good rate?

We don't really go on these parts.
I picked up some seeds and have them on the heating mat.
I'm still looking for some other low growing flowers that will reseed them selfs.

If it were me, I think I would plant it with dwarf plumbago (ceratostigma)
https://www.daytonnursery.com/encyclopedia/perennials/ceratostigma.htm
Its an extremely tough hardy ground cover, that spreads from the roots. It tolerates all kinds of soils, sun/shade drought/wet whatever. For me it is a three season plant, with nice green foliage in spring, gets covered in little blue flowers for a pretty extended bloom period in late summer/fall, and has really nice bronzy red fall foliage. It drops its leaves in winter here, not sure what it would do for you.
Once established, it would even tolerate a bit of being walked on, though probably not regular foot traffic or car traffic.
If you have gardening friends, all you would need is for somebody to give you a couple divisions of it - trust me, if they have it, they will not mind giving you some! That's how I got mine, which fills in the terrible rocky clay soil strip between my driveway and my house. A couple starts will fill in pretty rapidly.
