Celandine has been growing (along with other wild flowers) in our lawn for years, which I am quite happy with, but the plant now seems to be spreading into my flower beds too. But as Nutcutlet has rightly said the plant will die down once it's yellow flowers have finished. But it will return next year evans.
I've discovered some celandine in my lawn too. Thought it's would make a good ground covering plant, but after having a read at various articles online, I'be gotten rid of it!
I leave the celandine in my lawn along with most of the other "weeds" (wild flowers, welcome to me), and also leave it under the rose hedge and in very shady areas, where it lights up the ground. I just try to weed out the celandine plants which appear somewhere totally inappropriate, like in the middle of a small alpine plant. They are relatively easy to get out early in the season when the tubers are firmly attached to the leaves, less so later on when they break off.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

Celandine
Hard to get rid of

Thank you.
Somehow I knew it was going to be a difficult one!
It leaves bits of itself behind to regrow if you dig it up. But it all disappears quite early in the summer and is very pretty in flower.

In that case I may see how it goes this spring and make a decision on it after. It might be more trouble that it's worth to try to get rid of it.

Is the problem with celandine that if you pull it up any bit of root that snaps off will produce a new plant?
That's what happens Invicta. It has tiny little tubers that break off to form another plant. Plus seeding.

But I saw a some on a hedge bank yesterday and it looked like a patch of spring sunshine
I grow the bronze leaved variety 'Brazen Hussy' which isn't quite as vigorous.
