I'm looking to buy a few thousand astilbe seeds to plant along a shaded creek area. 300 feet each side. Any tips on how to seed?

I was thinking of mixing sand and seeds into a gallon milk container with lottsa little holes in the bottom and just shaking them out.

They should just seed?
Maybe rake them in after dropping?
Do it on a rainy day?
2,000 enough? How many will geriminate?
Any sources that sell by the pound? Or is that too much?

I also have a wooded driveway area that runs 1/3 mile that I'm interested in planting Anemones. Both sides, but I'd probably only do about half of the 1/3 mile

Lottsa questions but I'm a newbie to this idea.
