It is native throughout most of [[Europe]] and western [[Asia]] though it has been  introduced and naturalized in North America. [[Juncus subnodulosus-Cirsium palustre fen-meadow|''Juncus subnodulosus''-''Cirsium palustre'' fen-meadow]] [[plant association]]s of Western Europe consistently include this plant.<ref>C. Michael Hogan. 2009</ref>
