Questionsdormant shallots in tunnel

I tried growing onion shallots in a poly tunnel for spring use. I couldn’t find any so I bought some in the supermarket. I planted on 1/10/11 but out of 15 planted only 2 have sprouted and are only 2 inches long. The rest have small roots only. Have they been treated to keep them dormant or what?
