Is it likely to survive in a Pot?

Does look a little like a rampant weed daisy that we have round here. But I can deffinately see the difference. And I',m not employed by the Govt to know the difference.

Will survive well in either a deep self-watering pot or one with a base & don't let it dry out too much. Its a bit deeper rooted (tap-root) than are grasses.
