Hi everyone!
I just got back from our cabin/house in the sierras and after clearing the pine needles away, we discovered some huge bald spots.

The problem here is that we are on a steep slope (approx 30*) and need plants to prevent errosion, but also want natural looking plantings. (no flowers or very few) The trees on the property are all pine, fir and redwood which creates an interesting mix of mulch lol! We did have ferns on the property, but there are very few left. I tried to transplant a few of the ferns but I know little about ferns and not sure if my transplanting will work.
'Will hostas survive in acidic soil? any other suggestions for errosion control plantings?
here are some pix....
