I have lots of stylophorum in my woods, courtesy of mother nature. It scatters itself about, not aggressively, but I do have to pull those which want to encroach on some of my more demure shade dwellers. I prefer to remove more mature plants, since they become bulky with an extensive (& brilliant yellow) root when they're allowed to grow to maturity. I always have younger plants since it reseeds so avidly, so it always replenishes itself. I love it's random intermingling with other exuberant early spring bloomers, mertensia, helleborus, trillium as seen in the picture below - none were planted, a mother-nature bouquet! I hope it scatters itself about in your yard also!
