I love chiltepin / chile pequin / chile tepin...
all three are kissin cousins, as different shapes
of tiny " bird peppers"

Just fyi, I would avoid Hirts, I haven't had
great luck with them. (the company)

Last spring I ordered live chiltepin plants from
Hirts, and they were unproductive, did not
bloom, and the plants did not resemble bird
pepper plants.

This year I did not drag my feet and am starting
them from seed !

Actually the best method of planting is the let the
birds plant them for you, with the plants emerging
as volunteers !

Farmer Dill listed some other sources above. Sometimes companies vary in the quality of their plants and seeds.
