Any ideas for a groundcover on a slope?

15 years ago

I'd like to put a variety of bushes and perennials on a slope right next to my house. It's the southwest side and I've dug a little ditch to stake out the bed.

I don't want a climber. Maybe a few groundcovers that will fill things in, help keep soil in place, and possibly get along with one another?

Also want to avoid anything that reseeds like crazy since my raised garden bed is about 10 feet away.

I've been looking at: some juniper, creeping phlox, yarrow, lamb's ear....

Thanks!
