Padron is a Capsicum annum HOT pepper. The heat is mild similar to a Jalapeno but with a much more subtle flavor. Peppers can be spicy or hot no matter what size, shape or color.
Please note that size or color do not guarantee a sweet or a hot pepper. Green peppers can be HOT and red can be sweet, same with size, small or large. It is the luck of the draw. Pick when 2 inches and bright green for sweet taste. If grown to maturity, red peppers, most all will be hot.
