| Can you post a picture of the problem? I am unclear what a monkshood vine might be (?) I have a couple varieties of monkshoods (aconitum) but none are viney, they are all upright perennials. Common names can be misleading though. |

| There are varieties of climbing Aconitum; I think less common then the upright varieties. |

| Monkshood can develop verticillium wilt or succumb to root rot. I removed one of my Bicolour Aconitum plants this year for that reason. Over the past few years they had come up nice and green than slowly turned yellow/ brown over the season. I understand the climbing Hydrangea require a lot of moisture so perhaps they are more prone to crown rot. I wonder if you might try a fungicide and see if that would help. Good luck! |

| Whoops, typo. Climbing Monkshood, not Hydrangea. |
