Hi viola man, are you sure you don't have celandine rather than creeping buttercup? CB is perennial and definitely doesn't die-back but celandine disappears completely after flowering and the flowers do look almost identical to buttercups.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Creeping buttercup is said to poison other plants. It might look pretty along path edges but not suitable for the veg garden. Google - allelopathic plants creeping buttercup

Bob from what you say it must be Celandine .
Has anyone else made this mistake ? It is amazing the way it comes and goes.
Sorry for error.
Thanks for this
