Hey Mich,
Still want to grow peppers indoors on a window sill? Ran this pepper
through www.google.com and found a number of catalogs that sell it, of
course you need to be able to read German/Austrian to order.

Dear Paul!
The "Siberian Housepepper" (your translation was right) owes its name to the
fact that over-wintering on the window sill is rather easy. Its leaves are
small and it can do well with suboptimal light conditions (in comparison to
other peppers). It is a very hot Chili pepper of the species "Capsicum
frutescens".
As for tolerance to cool temperatures, it has the same requirements as other
peppers and shows now special adaptation to cooler areas.
With kin regards,
Michaela Arndorfer

As I can't read Austrian hopefully someone at your end can read English. On
this website there is mention of "Sibirischen Hauspaprika" which I believe
translates to "Siberian Housepepper" and considering I'm still digging out
of 40 inches (over 1 meter} of snow in the last 10 days I hope you can
understand my reason for contacting you. I have a south facing window that
would love to grow "Sibirischen Hauspaprika" to keep the winter chill away.
If you can contact me that would be great/If you can't I do know a
German woman in the neighborhood that I will contact to translate this site.
Hoping for an early Spring,
Paul
