The question depends entirely on style, zone, how much light it truly receives, and maintenance investment. What does the rest of your yard look like? Are you tying it in? Or going to try and start here and move to the rest of the yard.

If I may speculate, you are looking to remove the junipers, replacing them with a more dynamic and still low maintenance (it is a steep hill) combination. The suggestions above are excellent. Might I add the following.

Perhaps costs are an issue, but have you considered a natural looking waterfall? It would be perfect. You could wind it down between the shrubs you decide on. You might even extend the bed down to a pool and continue to plant there.

A final note, I would caution using any plant that will become large. The angle of the hill is perfect way to play with perspective. I would consider a large number of smaller plants with a sprinkling of larger ones, for a more natural and spacious look. If you are interested in a more contemporary look, choose a few types that make you happy (and fit the site) and use them in mass. These are just few ideas. I must say I’m jealous of the site; it’s perfect for putting more ‘middle of the bed’ plants at eye level. It would be perfect for a water feature. Good luck!
