    I think that might be a type of hardy chrysanthemum. It looks a lot like one I grow in my garden called 'Spartan Canary'.

    That looks very much like a hardy chrysanthemum.  They die back over the winter and re-emerge in spring.  The leaves should have quite a distinctive smell if you rub them (I love that smell!).  It you want it in a pot, I would repot it into a bigger one than the one it's in - it will have used up all the nutrients in that one.  They are quite thirsty plants.  No way of knowing which variety you have until it flowers.

    When you crush the leaves, do they have a strong scent?
