Viola! Attached is a simple EXCEL file, with no macros, that will easily calculate how many plants you need; all you do is enter the square footage of your project.  The green dark bars are common spacing for herbaceous and woody species, respectively.  The little red triangles are notes; hover your mouse over them to read the note.
