In addition to rosemary I too have sage and thyme.  The sage and thyme never do well in the winter though they recover nicely once I move them outside in the spring.  What sort of light do you use for yours?

 

This one. https://smile.amazon.com/SunBlaster-Watt-Grow-Lamp-pack/dp/B00AKKUZ7I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1485664832&sr=8-5&keywords=daylight+grow+bulb   Except I bought a pair at Loew's. With a big old school aluminum reflector right on top of the plants. I forget which, but light intensity varies either with the square or cube of the distance from the source. I hook it to a venetian blind and raise and lower it with growth/harvesting. Sage and thyme are reasonably content.
