Default Cover for a bank - advice please

The end of my garden is a little higher than the rest (2 feet or so) and has
my husband's workshop on it. In front of the workshop is a slope about 5
feet long which goes down to the lawn. The bottom of the bank becomes
waterlogged in winter. It gets the sun in the afternoons. Our soil is heavy
clay with maybe 8" of decent topsoil.
Currently the bank is re-growing bindweed and brambles after being cleared
to locate the workshop. Is there anything I could clothe the bank with - I
only want low-growing and low-maintenance stuff, or would it be better to
grass it over.
I'd thought of vinca or something like that, would that be suitably
low-maintenance?
Thanks
