Easy Landscaping For Seniors?

Question

Have about 1/4 acre (full sun until about 5 PM), very rocky, other than that, ok soil. Last year was our first in this house. We planted a white birch, a crabapple, a few hydrangeas, astilbe, currant and weigala around the fence perimeter. Looking for some fast growing shrubs and perennials for the middle 40’x40′ open area. Thanks for any help. Maureen Granat
