Is it possible to grow Artichokes In Hot area

Benton City, WA(Zone 6a)

I know they prefere cool foggy climates but I was wondeirng if any of you who live where it's hot have ever grown them with anykind of success? I would think growing them in a place where their is filtered sun and mulching them might help. I have started 6 nice little plants that are ready to stick out in my garden. Now that I know what they like I'm thinking of planting them is the shade. I grew them last year and they were great for keeping the affids away from my roses and other plants. They are great as landscaping plants as well. But I'm thinking I wouldn't plant them in the sun. Any help would be appreciated. It's get up in the high 90s and hits 100 for a good length of the summer here.

Thanks, Sagewood.
