Suggestions for a sunny slope...?

| Hi there!
I'm new to the forum and we moved into our 1st house recently and so I'm just starting out on this whole gardening journey ^.^
On the very west end of our property there is a steep-sloped part that gets A LOT of sun and faces the road we live in...
Can any suggest a good groundcover/plant/flower that can cover the area, is pretty hardy, maybe invasive, preferably pretty and native to Michigan?
I'm probably making a pretty tall order, but any help/advice anyone will provide would be just wonderful.
Thanks so much! |

| If it's a relatively hot, dry slope in the sun, I would suggest an assortment of Sedum, although they are not native to Michigan (at least, not most/many). The shorter types are typically spreading to various degrees. Some are even considered aggressive. The taller types would provide a pleasant contrast in height. |

| Also NOT native, but crownvetch or birdsfoot trefoil might work for you. Both are good groundcovers for slopes, etc. Seed is fairly readily available for both. |
