Hi Amy,
I'm in Plano, Texas, about 30 miles north of Dallas, on the line between zones 7 and 8.
I have no problem with medians (SDB, MTB, IB, BB) at all. In fact they seem to be less affected by rot and other maladies, as a whole, than the TB's. Mine are all in raised beds with enough spacing to get good air circulation. Some can be persnickity about where they are grown, especially the MTB's. After 2 yers, if they are not performing, I will relocate them to a different sun exposure, and/or a different soil composition bed. A few never respond...they are just weaker growers and they get evaluated on whether the bloom is worth the space. Most of these are earlier reds and blacks, which are known slow /weak growers.
A few unusual colored iris to consider are
ROMIE STEWART - Burseen 92 - TB - red-brown, lavender & tan blended S. Creamy tan F., overlaid with S. colors, having red-brown hafts & edges. Violet flash at gold B.
DRURY LANE
GAY GESHIA
STARPLE - Burseen 94 - Straw yellow S. Bright lemon F with red-purple wash. Gold B.
SILENT RAIN - Burseen 97 - Unique pearl-gray self. Yellow B.
HUBBUB - Ensminger 89 - IB - Irregular white and violet splashes and streaks.
BEING BUSY - Hager 93 - SDB - Bright yellow S. Deep maroon F edged grayed mauve. Dusty blue B.
KERMIT - Ensminger 90 - IB - (blooms like an SDB here) Chartreuse with a blue blaze under the chartreuse, tipped blue, B.
SQUIDDLER - Innerst 95 - SDB - Moss green with aqua-blue midribs. Aqua-blue F. Orange B, tipped blue.
DISTANT ROADS - Keppel 91 - Olive-mauve S. White F,with heavy dark plum markings.
Good luck.

- I would assume that
summer heat would not affect rot in IB/BBs more than in
TBs and ABs.)
