The window sill I have previously grown herbs in only gets 3 to 4 hours of direct sunlight per day. Does anyone know which herbs, if any, would prosper under those conditions?
I'm not really sure. That sounds like a pretty small amount. I know that, outside, my flat-leaf parsley and mints prefer morning sun and afternoon shade, so you might try them. But basil, thyme, chives, and rosemary seem to prefer lots of direct sun.
Chervil would be a good choice. Mints are fairly tolerant of some shade as is parsley. You might also have some fun with gourmet greens like lettuces and arugula. I often grow these in the garage during winter when the light is low and sparce. It's a real treat!

Ya know, they say that rosemary and thyme need lots of sun, but every winter I put my rosemary & thyme pots on my kitchen window sill, which does not get a great deal of sun and they do OK.
