If you have an acidic soil you can plant some rhododendrons and pieris. If not hydrangeas, potentillas, cistus, genista, hypericum and fuchsia. These are all easily grown and can be pruned if needs be.
There is no problem planting by a septic tank but trees should not be planted over the associated soak-away area.
