Lesser celandine is a weed of Springtime. It grows from small tubers and spreads rapidly amoungst other perennial plants to make the whole bed look untidy. The plant spreads from both seeds and vegetatively from broken pieces of plant root making weed control difficult. Unless the area infected is small, hand weeding is usually fruitless as the smallest broken root left in the soil will re-grow..
The only reliable cure is to spray the plants with a contact type of weedkiller, but great care must be used to make sure no other nearby plant catches any spray drift. Failing this, The plant will naturally go into rest before the end of May, and will not cause any trouble for the summer period.
It should be noted that this plant is quite pretty and can be purchased from garden centres. It is advisable to keep it in a suitable container if being grown as a garden plant.
