Lesser celandine is known to naturalize easily. Once established, it will return year after year, creating a delightful and colourful display in early spring. It typically goes dormant during the summer months. As the weather becomes warmer, the plant starts to wither and die back. The plant essentially rests until the following growing season.

It's essential to allow the plant to go through its natural phase, and minimal intervention is required during this time.
