What is best way to landscape a backyard bank?

What is best way to landscape a backyard bank @ a 60 degree angle?

I already have ivy jacobs ladder ferns campenella(sp) dwarf grass day lilly i need help with organizing it.
I always tell people to use their imaginations and to do things the way they like them. However, you will probably want to place shorter plants at the bottom of the bank and progress up the bank with taller plants. Taller plants at the bottom of bank would probably hide smaller plants unless they are spaced far enough apart so that they are not hidden. It has been my personal experience, though, that if you have ivy planted anywhere, it will eventually take over and cover and crowd out everything else unless you keep it pulled out and contained in one area. Ivy can become very invasive and sometimes be considered a weed when it begins to take over and damage anything else you plant and like. Good luck and enjoy.
