It is native to Europe and has been introduced to North America.
Carex hirta grows 15–70 cm tall, with leaves 10–50 cm long and 2–5 mm (occasionally up to 8 mm) wide. The stems are trigonous (roughly triangular in cross-section), but with convex, rounded faces. The leaves, leaf sheaths and ligules are all hairy. The culms bear 2–3 lateral female spikes, each 10–45 mm long, and on half-ensheathed peduncles up to twice the length of the spike. There are 2–3 male spikes at the end of the culm, each 10–30 mm long. The hairy utricles, male glumes and leaves make it hard to confuse Carex hirta with any other Carex species.
