Ranunculus ficaria 'Brazen Hussy'
Just as prolific a seeder as the green-leaved form. It was discovered in local woodland by the late Christopher Lloyd of Great Dixter

I'd say take the leaves off - for three reasons.
Firstly, if left in situ they will take nitrogen form the soil as they rot down, depriving the plants of it.
Secondly, all sorts of 'nasties' will hide under the leaves (slugs for example)
Thirdly, wet leaves against stems will cause rots to set in

Just bought 3 plants from New Hopetoun gardens near Edinburgh this weekend - I've planted them under our establishing deciduous British native hedge - hoping they will spread and form a carpet.
What else?
See who else is growing Ranunculus ficaria 'Brazen Hussy'.
See who else has plants in genus Ranunculus.
