Bermudagrass like Panama Bermuda Grass Seed Blend, in general, has extremely poor shade tolerance and will not persist in shade, even in the short term.
Panama Bermuda Grass Seed Blendvery much a turf species that will cover ground quickly and compete against most weeds.............but only in full sun!
The Panama Bermuda Grass Seed Blend is made by a different manufacturer than Celebration Grass, but it has similar properties and is made for similar uses. The PanAm Bermuda blend is perfect anywhere low-growing, fine textured turf is desired, such as lawns, golf courses, parks, and sports fields. This grass will grow in a dark green color and should be planted in full sunlight. This should be a great alternative to costlier options.
As Missouri is in the transition zone between cool and warm season lawn climates, you may have success in establishing Panama (PanAm) Bermuda Grass Seed Blend in your lawn, amongst the existing Fescue. The best way to determine what grass seed would grow and establish well in your area would be to speak to someone at your Local Master Gardener center for what will thrive in your weather and environments conditions.
We would not recommend overseeding during extreme temperatures. It is best to overseed when the Bermuda grass has stopped growing, which is usually 4–6 weeks before the first frost. This is typically between late August and mid-November.
