For both flowers and substance, I would look at Vitex agnus castus on that slope. It blooms for months and has a more interesting form and leaf, in my opinion, than butterfly bush. It's actually a small, slow growing tree that appears shrub-like. It is low maintenance. I'm posting a photo for you, but don't have a picture of the whole plant right now.

Deer love my hydrangeas, especially the oak leaf ones. A west side slope may be both too hot and dry for hydrangeas. Some of the hollies might be good too. Evergreen, low care and red berries that can last for months of interest. Lots of cardinals that love the berries are a bonus.
