Southern exposures are limited, modern houses haven't got good southern window exposure or good rooms that you could put plants in. You can grow houseplants and some flowers inside, but filtered indirect ambient light isn't good for anything not listed as shade plants. If you don't have them getting a solid few hours or so of pretty much full sun, your herbs may not do so well, and they're not going to be particularly good. Just like it is if you put the rose Bush under the shade tree.

If you get lousy results that aren't caused by soil conditions or other problems supplement the Windows with a fluorescent tube light or grow tube light. Put it on a five hour timer, I guess? Just keep in mind that lots of light, plenty of light, it's beneficial for almost any plant. I'm just saying that if your results aren't good, try a few simple changes and put in light if you need to.

What's the difference between a ten foot tall crepe myrtle and a thirty six inch one?

I planted them both in 2001, but one was planted where I wanted to put it, and the other one went where she wanted it.
