Which kinds of plants do well on a slop in full sun?

I have a 4 foot slope on side of my front lawn. It is horrendous to mow and I am not the weed eater type. I would love to mulch or do pine needles along with some type of flowers; preferably perennials. I have hydrangeas that need to be moved would they fair well on a slope?

That depends on the lighting ?
Check out this link. It really has helped me.

If it is full sun, hydrangeas are a no-no. They need shade. However, peonies, iris, coneflowers (Echinacea), Day lilies, knock out roses... I could go on and on. But I will stop with these suggestion.
Gazanias. They love the sun and bloom year around. Drought tolerant and they are perennials
There are lots of kinds of flowering ground cover too. I love phlox. So so pretty!
My mom made a rock garden . Lots of trailing phlox, but there are other lovely ground covers you can add. It took about two years for it to fill in, but then she never fertilized or watered it.
Snow On The Mountain, Peppermint, Catmint. These will all take over. Great for slopes.
