Baker Creek carries them, and Pimiento De Padron is supposed to be sweet and green, and only occasionally hot. I didn't grow them, but probably Bluey remembers something (maybe even about the red ones, which could easily be hotter than "standard" green). I could have asked for seeds, when I begged her for some from her Indian Stripe Heart, but I have plenty of pepper seeds and no room for more.

They are an unusual plant, when green, 1 out of 10 is quite hot, the rest are like sweet frying peppers. When allowed to ripen to red, they are hot and thicker walled. They are often dried and used for pepper powder. These are the classic tapas pepper when scalded in very hot olive oil and then sprinkled with coarse sea salt.
