We battle Sweet Woodruff in many conservation fields in Lincoln - it is very aggressive! I would strongly advise against planting it anywhere. A good place to look for native plant recommendations is either on LLCT's website, https://lincolnconservation.org/pollinators/toolkits/, Native Plant Trust's Garden Plant Finder, https://www.nativeplanttrust.org/, or Grow Native of Waltham, https://www.grownativemass.org/. The Native Plant Trust site has a database where you can filter according to specifications like growing conditions and what height/spread you're looking for.
Hope this helps!
