'Velvet Queen' tulip (Tulipa 'Velvet Queen') is a bulb for borders, cut flowers, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. The flowers bloom from early to late spring on stems about 16 inches tall. Petals are beetroot purple outside and in, with a yellow base inside and primrose yellow anthers. L.J.C. Schoorl bred it.

Pairs well with Mount Hood daffodil, Dr. Alexander Fleming peony, and Ernest Markham clematis.
