Varieties that like extra water?

Stowaway · March 13, 2013

Several of my tomato plants this year are going to be squeezed in among the landscaping -- mostly rose bushes, hostas and the like. There are places in the yard with plenty of room and sun exposure for even very large tomato plants, but they all get different amounts of attention from the sprinkler system. I'm curious if there are varieties that are extra thirsty, and varieties that like a little neglect as far as water is concerned.

Of the seedlings I've got going, candidates for these spots are: Bloodly Butcher, Brandywine Sudduth, Brandywine OTV, Amish Gold, Bulgarian Triumph, Opalka, Black Krim, Anna Russian, Jaune Flammee.

Summers here are dry and fairly hot, so nothing is in danger of getting drowned to death. I'm just hoping to put thirsty plants in optimal spots!
